What is V01.6?

Try V01.6, which is exposure or contact with venereal diseases

Can you code exposure in Alphabetic Index?

If you look at Exposure in the Alphabetic Index you will see "suspected" in parentheses right next to it. In most circumstances you are right, you cannot code suspected, r/o or possible diagnoses and you would code the symptoms. However in this case, it looks like you can most definitely code the exposure even if it is only suspected.

Can you code V01.6?

you cannot code V01.6 for either the visit or the test as we are not allowed to code any diagnosis that is documented as possible, suspected, rule out, etc. Only inpatient facility based coders may code this type of diagnosis. Use only the V74.5 code for this encounter and testing.
